ElectroPutere AIR

The ElectroPutere AIR (Artist-in-Residence) program is thoughtfully crafted to cultivate innovative approaches to artistic research. It aims to deepen understanding of how individuals and societies navigate the intricate reconfigurations of reality and the pervasive influence of contemporary image culture.

Situated in Craiova, this program provides a dynamic environment for context-driven exploration, enabling resident artists to develop and refine their ideas. The outcomes of these creative processes have been presented in thoughtfully curated exhibitions at the ElectroPutere Gallery, highlighting the program’s commitment to both artistic excellence and intellectual inquiry.

ElectroPutere AIR serves as a vibrant platform for creative and critical engagement, fostering process-oriented practices that challenge and reinterpret the shifting perceptions of reality. With a focus on innovation and meaningful exploration, the residency underscores the transformative potential of art in addressing complex cultural and societal phenomena.
